Lotty Rosenfeld

Zusatztext

"Lotty Rosenfeld. Esta línea es mi arma" for the first time provides insights into the personal archive and family history of the Chilean concept artist, feminist, and political activist Lotty Rosenfeld (1943-2020). Influenced by her familys life in exile, growing up in the shadow of loss and resistance, she developed a radical artistic practice under the Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s. Using the simplest of resourcesadhesive tape, lines, and crossesshe transformed streetscapes into places of protest and collective memory. Her symbolic file of disobedience brought into question the visual logic of power and transformed art into an instrument of political involvement. The publication combines personal memories with public statements and traces the Rosenfeld familys journey from a bourgeois Jewish life in Breslau through exile to a new beginning in Chileand shows why her white line was more than just a symbol: it was a weapon of resistance.
